Trends of road user types figures (Number in the period 2003-2008/number in the period 1996–2001) according to their deceased (orange) or survivor (blue) status

Radiograph of the distal right femur of a deceased 7-week-old girl, victim of inflicted traumatic brain injury, shows a metaphyseal spur (arrow) and subperiosteal new bone formation (arrowhead). Both are physiological findings at this age, which not seldomly are incorrectly interpreted as a pathological finding, i.e. metaphyseal corner fracture and a healing fracture

Representative immunofluorescence images of renal cortical tissue from sepsis patients versus healthy and noninfected critically ill controls. Fluorescence: Green = AT1R; red = smooth muscle α-actin (smooth muscle); magenta = Na-K-Cl cotransporter (macula densa); blue = 4′,6-diamidino-2-phenylindole (nuclei). Control (Ctrl) is a serial section in which the primary antibody cocktail was preincubated with free AT1R peptide to prevent anti-AT1R primary antibody from binding to target antigen in tissue. Green fluorescence in the sample that is absent in the adjacent control therefore confirms the specificity of the signal to AT1R. (a) Healthy tissue. (b) Serial section from healthy tissue where anti-AT1R antibody was preadsorbed with control peptide. (c) Tissue from a sepsis victim. (d) Serial section from a sepsis victim with preadsorbed anti-AT1R. (e) Tissue from a deceased noninfected critically ill control. (f) Serial section with preadsorbed anti-AT1R from a deceased noninfected critically ill control. ICU, intensive care unit; MD, macula densa.

Sr isotope data in human enamel and environmental samples presented in a standard Boxplot figure: median and quartiles. Red is the femur from the deceased female. Dark yellow is the field from environmental samples from Germany. X = average, horizontal line=median. Outliers are shown as circles. Blue is bioavailable Sr from the Netherlands tooth database ([] plus unpublished data). Sr isotope ratios in the German environment are significantly more variable than in the Netherlands bioavailable database because of i) the more diverse geology that includes volcanic regions such as the Eifel and old basement such as the Harz Mountains (0.707–0.720) and ii) the homogenisation of the environmental signature by the human body.
